A good day can turn into a bad day in the span of a microsecond. You never know when one of these day-ruining events will happen, either. What are the options ? Well, you can either brace for what might happen, or distract yourself by looking at other people who’ve had their day totally ruined.
“Housemate’s dog got into my 6 hour butter chicken. No dinner for me tonight .”
I don’t know what’s worse here: the loss of a big vat of delicious butter chicken, or the massive cleanup that this spill is going to require.

“My zipper broke at work, right before a few important meetings.”
I admire the ingenuity in fixing the fly here, I really do. That said, the fix stands out like a sore thumb. It would be less obvious if they just went into the meeting with their fly down.
“Does anyone sell replacement space bars for Razer Blackwidow?”
I’ve had a lot of things go wrong with computers and computer peripherals over the years, but I’ve never seen a space bar just give up on life and crack in half.
“Driver slid into a ditch. Now I get to clean up the moldy V8 they left me.”
If there’s one thing I hope I never have to clean up, it’s a truckload of moldy tomato juice than slid into a ditch.
“A great start for my day, they fell off when I was walking to school.”
No pair of shoes is going to last forever, but most of them aren’t going to fail like this.
“Table shattered while I was laying in bed in another room. At least the vase survived.”
Here’s the thing about tempered glass: sometimes it just explodes for no reason, and when it explodes, the little shards get everywhere. Moral of the story? Never buy anything with tempered glass — except do, because at least the mess is safer than standard shards.
“Saw these little chocolate bars laying on the table and decided to take a bite. Turns out my brother painted solid clay brown at school today to prank me. Needless to say, he got me.”
This sucks for the person who posted it, but for their brother, it’s a massive win.
“I order: crystals from China. I receive: sack of corn.”
About a year ago, I ordered an expensive pair of headphones from Amazon and received a sack of sucralose instead. I got my headphones eventually, but dealing with customer service was an ordeal.
“Saved a 60″ TV from the trash, fixed the backlight for free, then cracked the screen putting it back together.”
When you put a lot of work into salvaging something and making it usable again, only to just break it and make it unusable again, it’s hard to find any further motivation.
“I’ll do the dishes tomorrow.”
Yes, this will be a complicated and likely expensive fix, but there is a silver lining: if this person is looking for an excuse not to do dishes, they’ve totally found it.
“The painter went over my doorbell and now it’s stuck.”
I love it when paint jobs just paint over everything with no concern for what’s underneath. After all, if they’d taken the time to paint around this doorbell, it would have used up five valuable seconds.
“Overfilled my jars to freeze the bone broth I spent 48 hours simmering.”
Putting stuff in the freezer can be a dangerous game, especially when you’re using glass jars. I guess this pic represents 48 hours of hard work that’s gone down the drain.
“Having my bathroom remodelled and they installed my shower at less than knee height.”
I guess having a shower at this height would be convenient if you were really concerned about knee hygiene, but it would be a major hassle for the rest of us.
“Oh no it’s stuck again!”
Pics like this make me glad I’m not a truck driver. The thought of getting into this predicament, then figuring out a way to get out of it, just gives me anxiety. It truly does not look fun.
“Locked my door and ran outside my apartment in a hurry, keys got caught inside.”
When you’ve managed to do something like this, you just know it’s going to be a rough day. In fact, it would be better to just go back home and regroup…if you could somehow get in.
“Police demolished a house in my neighborhood to get to a suspect. He didn’t live there.”
This looks like a major inconvenience for whoever lives in this house. Whether they were looking to rebuild or not, they’re going to have to after this impromptu demolishing.
“I see your school lunch and I raise you a dinner on a US Navy ship.”
A lot of people have been comparing school lunches from around the world, and a few members of the armed services decided to get in on the fun. That’s assuming you find this pic fun, of course.
“I see your dinner and raise you a jug of water from the tap on USS Nimitz.”
Okay, things are just getting ridiculous now. I get that some aircraft carriers are powered by nuclear reactors, but does that mean that the drinking water has to be radioactive as well?
(It isn’t, but it looks it.)
“Aftermath of a toddler putting earbuds in the microwave.”
Microwaves work fast. That means that you can reheat a whole meal in just a couple of minutes, or completely nuke an expensive set of earbuds in a matter of a couple of seconds.
“Left the window open on a windy day and came home to find my tooth brush had been blown off the windowsill.”
I think everyone sees their toothbrush wind up in the toilet at some point, but that knowledge doesn’t make the experience any less tragic.
